Ha! :lol:

It's not that I'm afraid of losing a drag race. I don't care about that part, I just let them pass along with the minivans. It's the one-lane ramps where those monsters try to push me out of the way. As it is, they are so close I can only see the bottom of the bumper in the mirror and some times they are so close I can see the paint transfer from their previous victims.

It's pretty easy, but not cheap, to pull 100lbs out of these (without impacting DD ability or comfort) while adding 30whp.

That would make a pretty healthy difference in weight:power ratio.

Could you list these mods?

Weds 17x8 TC105N, -20 lbs
Braille 11 lbs battery, -20 lbs
CF driveshaft, -10 lbs
Exedy LWFW, -8 lbs
Tanabe single exit, -15 lbs
Shrader rear seat delete, - 25 lbs

You could also do a BBK like the stoptech st40 or ap racing sprint kit to save a bit more weight.

Yep, the AP Racing Sprint kit drops another 20lbs off the the front.

TWS wheels are even lighter than Weds but $$$$
